PDF-(DOWNLOAD)-Trees of the Brain, Roots of the Mind

The human brain is often described as the most complex object in the universe Tens of billions of nerve cellstiny treelike structures make up a massive network with enormous computational power In this book Giorgio Ascoli reveals another aspect of the human brain the stunning beauty of its cellular form Doing so he makes a provocative claim about the mindbrain relationshipIf each nerve cell enlarged a thousandfold looks like a tree then a small region of the nervous system at the same magnified scale resembles a gigantic fantastic forest This structural majesty illustrated throughout the book with extraordinary color images hides the secrets behind the genesis of our mental states Ascoli proposes that some of the most intriguing mysteries of the mind can be solved using the basic architectural principles of the brain After an overview of the scientific and philosophical foundations of his argument Ascoli links mental states with patterns of electrical activity in nerve cells presents an emerging minority opinion of how the brain learns from experience and unveils a radically new hypothesis of the mechanism determining what is learned what isnt and why Finally considering these notions in the context of the cosmic diversity within and among brains Ascoli offers a new perspective on the roots of individuality and humanity.
